Nothing on the website?

Went there to order some alk supplement as I'm all out - apparently the website is as well?

Is there somewhere I can go to make an order Elias?

Thanks guys! It's been a lot of ups and downs, but I think it's mostly back on track for now.

Husbandry these days has been a lot of just plain old maintenance - refill dosing chambers as needed,...

I'd say JL looks pretty good from what I can see online. Is oceanic corals still around? Although, I think they do mostly frags.

In terms of online retailers, for what you're looking for, you'll...

Disassemble the venturi. There's a small elbow that feeds air into the venturi - this can get calcified and not allow air through. If you had the water level too high and it sucked a lot of water...

You probably didn't have an SPS heavy tank then. If the Ca stops for a day or two in my tank, it drops like a rock. Just last week I ran out of Ca buffer for what couldn't be more than 2-3 days. ...

Theyre fairly expensive even from the wholesalers - maybe a bit less direct, but I don't know. I bought a 6-head orange frogspawn for $120 from Sea U Marine which is a great price.

Try dosing less frequently, but more at each time to get around this double dosing that's going on.

BTW, I'm dosing over 2 ml/gallon of Ca and Alk. I think 3 ml of Mg/gal too :p

Just wondering, how stable is your Mg?

A combination of high pH, Ca and Alk causes even higher supersaturation of Ca and Co3 in the water making it more likely to precipitate. Mg interferes with...

Again, it's not the method, but the application. I had an SPS nano much smaller than this system with a much higher SPS load and it was doing great with dosing.
